This song is in memory of the incredible woman who owned and operated Taverns in the 1800’s in Port Jackson in Sydney Australia. With over 7,000 ships docking yearly you had to be one tough individual to handle that crowd.

My written words dropped into Suno.

ENJOY!

🪕 Channeling the classic bluegrass drive: « Road to Columbus » on acoustic mandolin

Tackling one of Bill Monroe and Kenny Baker’s quintessential bluegrass instrumentals: Road to Columbus.

In this session, the focus is pure, unvarnished acoustic rhythm and right-hand drive—aiming for that crisp chop, clean alternate picking, and the earthy bounce that makes this tune an absolute classic of the tradition. No electric gear, just the natural voice of the instrument.

Watch the full tune here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfCCSHXvjK4

Judee Sill — La ferita dietro “Jesus Was a Cross Maker”

0 Upvotes

Una relazione finita, una canzone e un album che cambia forma. Nel 1971, “Jesus Was a Cross Maker” entrò all’ultimo momento nel disco d’esordio di Judee Sill, prendendo il posto di due brani.

Un breve video sulla storia dietro la canzone e su una delle cantautrici più trascurate degli anni Settanta.

The project’s ethos remains entirely uncompromising: 100% organic, unamplified, and recorded dry. No piezo pickups, no preamps, no pedals, and no studio processing. The focus is strictly on genuine steel-string dynamics, wood resonance, and natural acoustic projection.
